Giving pupils more time to enter their user name at the logon screen

[glenmansbridge]

Just before the summer break I deployed new Windows 11 PCs to the ICT Suite. A teacher has asked that the pupils (foundation classes presumably) be given more time to enter their user names than about the 30 seconds they currently have. I believe this is because the teacher wants all pupils to reach the stage of clicking the arrow button to logon at the same time, but some type quicker than others, so having waited for other pupils to catch up, their screens are returning to the logon prompt. Does anyone know of a GPO setting that can be changed to increase this time?

 

Many thanks

I think this screen can be turned off so the login boxes are always showing. I believe it's this setting but don't use it myself:

Should be able to control this via GPO

Hi Mavhc

 

Thanks for the link - adding the Registry value IdleTimeOut has done the trick.
